It looks more ergonomic for the game (maybe also some VC games / arcade style games) than the Pro Pad or the Gamepad but I don't feel like spending money on it. For the price it might make a good simple pad for 4-button / 6-button games because it works over USB on the PC and PS3 as well.

Not much to show on the character this week as I've spent most of the time correcting the velocities and implementing more accurate behavior for jumping/dashing friction, air gethits and proper velocities during air combos.
What I have also been working on is a small program to automatically process sprites like these and make them look better - specifically replacing the black outlines with darker shades of the closest color, adding outlines around small details like the eyes, and adding smoothing between two shades of the same color. At the moment it's a very early prototype - all the color values are hardcoded, it's buggy and has no real GUI to speak off, so it's not much use to anyone else as of now.
An example using the standing stance:
For testing purposes, I probably can't fit two AA shades in each palette entry with the level of color separation going on, and the outlines probably need darker entries instead of using the next shadow color.

Are you sure you aren't experiencing keyboard ghosting instead? I don't remeber what the default keyboard layout is or what you've changed the controls to but for example I can't hit Z & X simultaenously with the down or right arrows on my laptop.

Hi im back again with a brand new character

As you can see in the video it's based on the first Marvel Vs Capcom aiming towards a fair amount of accuracy that I could scrape from the game. Currently it doesn't have half the special moves or AI logic for any of them coded so it can't do much more than just rush forward and do chain combos. Hey weren't you making that MvC2 Mewtwo-
Yeah but it wasn't shaping up so well and I don't have the time to clean up sprites all day instead of just rendering a model in high-res. Maybe I'll look back into it now the SSB4 3D model exists.
